Original post
La société qui gére les Aéroports de Thailande a annoncé le 10/8 que la taxe
d' aéroport ( passenger service charge ) passerait de 500 à 700 baht pour les
vols internationaux à compter du 28/09 date de l'ouverture de Suvarnabhumi,
elle sera incluse dans le prix des billets à compter de Fevrier 2007.
NB : c'est une relative bonne nouvelle !

A propos de taxe existe-t-til un autre pays où il faut payer cash la taxe d'aéroport ?
Les grands voyageurs sont ceux qui se perdent
Perso je ne suis pas surpris, il faut des contribuables pour payer ce pharaonique Aéroport dont certains pots de vin ont atterris directement dans les poches des politiciens et amis de ceux ci.
Donc pour rentabiliser on augmente😠.

😏Bonjour ! C'est quoi Suvarnabhumi ? Un nouvel Aéroport pour BANGKOK ?
Mais où se trouve-t-il cet Aéroport - plus loin ou plus près de BKK que l'actuel ?
Je ne connais que celui là depuis des années... Excuse-moi de mon ignorance !
Je n'étais pas au courant qu'ils ont construit un nouveau Aéroport pour Bangkok !
Oui c'est le nouvel aéroport de Bangkok qui va se trouver un peu plus à l'est.
Que du bonheur pour les habitués de Pattaya;
moins pour tous les autres...(dont je fais partie)
Ouverture officielle prévue le 28 septembre, mais ils ne précisent pas l'année! 😉

Tu peux aller voir à cet adresse: http://www.bangkokairportonline.com/
Il y des phtos, cartes etc, mais en anglais.
En passant ça se prononce su-wan-na-poom, je sais pas pourquoi il y a un i à la fin de Suvarnabhumi alors qu'il n'est pas prononcé🤪.

😏 Je dois te remercier pour l'adresse du Site concernant le Nouvel Aéroport
de BANGKOK ! Mais c'est incroyable ! Ils vont FERMER l'actuel Aéroport International
de DON MUANG dès le 28 SEPTEMBRE 2006 et de transférer TOUT le monde en UN SEUL
jour à cet NOUVEL Aéroport situé à 30 kms à l'EST de BANGKOK ! Je n'étais même pas
au courant qu'ils ont construit un autre Aéroport pour BKK - ultra moderne et plus grand
encore que celui de DON MUANG que je connais depuis des années ! C'est une grosse
surprise pour moi ! Ici, de DON MUANG, c'est plus simple pour aller en Ville à Khaosan Road
ou aux 2 autres endroits avec les Bus d'Aéroport N°1, N°2 et N° 3 pour 100 Bht seulement !Maintenant avec le Nouvel Aéroport ? Qu'ont-ils comme Transports publics à nous proposer ?
Et à quels prix ? Et en combien de temps on doit mettre ou à prévoir pour faire le nouveau
trajet du Nouvel Aéroport et Terminal à BKK-Ville ? ... Et que vont-ils faire de DON MUANG ?

Nnthanh, je pense que les chauffeurs de taxi, vont pouvoir se frotter les mains, les farangs vont devoir mettre une fois de plus la main à la poche pour aller de l'aéroport vers le centre ville.😉 Le prix de la course de Taxi va surement augmenter vu la distance qui va fortement augmenter et les nouveaux bouchons en perpective (si le traffic augmente) !🙁 A noter que le sky train ni le métro, pour l'instant n'est raccordé !😐 En plus déjà de la taxe d'aéroport qui passe de 500 à 700 baths, cet aéroport va coûter très cher aux thailandais mais aussi aux farangs ! 😛 Si je pars début novembre comme prévu, j'espère qu'(au moins l'aéroport avec toutes la nouvelle tecnologie, n'aura pas trop de bugs! 😉😎

Salut Nnthanh, Oui ça va devenir le plus grand aéroport de l'Asie voir çi dessous .😉 LA THAÏLANDE S’OFFRE LE PLUS GRAND AEROPORT D’ASIE Au moment où l’imagination de l’homo technologicus atteint son summum, l’on rivalise à qui mieux mieux pour repousser les limites du progrès. Après l’A 380, le plus gros avion du monde, voici le plus grand aéroport d’Asie.
Après quatre ans de travaux, le calendrier est désormais arrêté. Le 28 septembre prochain sera inauguré le nouvel aéroport de Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi érigé par Thaï Airways.
Capable d’accueillir jusqu’à 45 millions de passagers dans sa première phase, avec un potentiel de 100 millions de personnes à terme, cet aéroport ultramoderne représente deux fois la capacité de Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle.
Situé à quelque 25 kilomètres à l’Est de Bangkok, la capitale thaïlandaise, ce joyau a nécessité un investissement de quelque 5 milliards d’euros. Il comprend quatre pistes d’atterrissage, le plus grand centre de maintenance mondial de l’A 380, et des infrastructures d’accès conséquentes ainsi qu’une nouvelle autoroute et une liaison ferroviaire directe.
L’aéroport, qui comprend un hôtel Accor de 600 lits, doit recevoir en 2009 six A 380 qui assureront la liaison entre Bangkok et l’Europe.
Cet aéroport sera d’un apport non négligeable dans une zone en pleine croissance touristique où l’on devait à l’époque se frayer, à l’aéroport de Bangkok, un chemin parmi les interminables files de touristes pour rejoindre la porte d’embarquement.
L’aéroport de Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi entrera en fonction dès le 29 juillet avec certains vols-test : deux liaisons Bangkok-Phuket et Bangkok-Chiang Mai seront opérationnelles pour roder les installations et éventuellement tester le fonctionnement de plusieurs composantes de ce joyau architectural.

J'ai entendu dire que don muang serait aeroport militaire et FRET, mais j'ai lu qu'un député ne semble pas d'accord, il veux que l'on garde le FRET+les vols domestiques(quel mauvaise idée....et les correspondances avec les vols internationaux ??? on en fait quoi????? on arrive dans un aeroport pour pour aller dans un autre!!!!!bravo mr le depute!!!!!!
dans l'article il est aussi question d'un ligne a grande vitesse qui irait de l'aeroprt aux stations de BTS, un peu comme sur le modele MALAYSIEN, fin des travaux 2007.

😏 MERCI Marco ! ... pour tous ces renseignements !
Je n'étais pas du tout au courant de ce Projet gigantesque d'Aéroport lorsque j'étais tout ce temps en Thailande ! Donc, les Thailandais vont battre un record - et nous alors ? Recevoir 6 Airbus A-380 en même temps ! Deux fois plus grand que notre Paris-CDG pour 100 millions de passagers !
Donc, je ne débarquerai pas à DON MUANG en Novembre 2006 ! J'aimerais bien savoir sur les Transports Publics pour aller à BKK-Ville et j'espère qu'ils vont mettre en service un bon service de Bus d'Aéroport comme les N° 1, 2 et 3 de DON MUANG à Khaosan Thanon et à 2 autres endroits en BKK ?
Heureusement que je n'arrive pas à cet Nouvel Aéroport la semaine du 28 Septembre 2006 de son inauguration ! Pagailles garanties avec tous ces déménagements ! Enfin, je devrais donc apprendre désormais à m'habituer avec celle nouvelle merveille d'Aéroport International de BKK ! - -

De nombreuses liaisons de bus urbains (pas moins de 6) relient déja Suvarnabhumi airport au centre de BKK au
prix de 35 baht, la 551 est particulièrement intéressante elle prend la "highway" et termine sur Victory Monument..... c'est vrai que c'est pas un endroit très interressant pour les touristes ! mais le skytrain passe ici
et c'est croisement de nombreuses lignes de bus urbains.....

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for addresses for guesthouses or, even better, houseboats or rafting houses on the River Kwai, between Kanchanaburi and Sangkhlaburi, to spend a few weeks contemplating this beautiful river.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi there,
we’re currently in Mai Chau and tomorrow we’re hitting the road back to Hanoi to head up toward Bac Ha and Sapa.
We haven’t really had a set plan since we arrived—we’ve already done the Halong Bay on land and by sea.
I’ve got 2 free days before heading to Bac Ha and Sapa.
Any tips?
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hey everyone,
Silly question—backpack or hard-shell suitcase for the Sepilok, Kinabatangan, Tioman, KL trip? I’m struggling to fit all my son’s and my stuff into the 70L backpack... and I’m thinking a suitcase would be easier, but I’m not sure if it’ll work for getting around.
Thanks! 🙂

Hi there,
I didn’t plan to return to Thailand this year, but my health conditions mean it’ll be the best place for me to stay between two trips to India. The tourism setup there is so well-organized that it’s the most "comfortable" country for a short visit. Thailand feels too sanitized for my taste, and there’s too much religion, Buddha, and the King, but it’s still the best option given how my health has been evolving. I’d considered two weeks in ThaTon for hiking, but I got too sick from the burn-offs during my trips to the mountains around Chiang Rai. So I’m not sure where to go this year. Definitely not the sea, touristy spots, or the mountains with burn-offs...
Thanks, friends, if you’ve got any suggestions.

Hello.
In 1996, we crossed Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi by motorbike—Minsk bikes we bought in Saigon. I haven’t been back since, and it seems like a lot has changed.
- We’re heading to the south (well, the north and center) with the family in July-August (3 people).
- Is the road network more developed now? Back then, there was only National Route 1 from south to north. I’m thinking of renting a car this time (no motorbike with the family—though in ’96, they had a Jawa sidecar for sale, and we hesitated… maybe it’s for the best).
- Is Halong Bay really something to avoid because of overtourism? Even back then, it was pretty crowded. Is there a less touristy alternative?
- We’ll be traveling from Hanoi down to Danang (the only city we didn’t stop in back in ’96). Even though it’s a bit overhyped in a Chinese-tourist kind of way (from what I’ve read), we’re only going for the beach—pure relaxation for 7 days. The beaches are stunning, and I know the South China Sea is warm like coffee.
- Then, we’ll visit Hoi An, where I stopped in ’96. It was already popular with backpackers back then, but no glowing boats or all the touristy fuss!
- After that, Hue, where I have great memories—it’s a beautiful city.
- And also the nature around Ninh Binh, followed by 2-3 days in Hanoi.
That’s the plan. I’d love to hear any tips to avoid mass tourism, and if anyone’s done this before: - Is it possible to rent a car in Danang and drop it off in Hanoi?
Thanks, and long live the Nam! !

Hey everyone,
I’m over in East Borneo in mid-July.
I’m struggling to wrap up the end of my itinerary, even though it’s pretty straightforward (long but simple).
Last year, we did Malaysia (KL and the mainland + around Kuching).
Day 1 – Arrive in Kota Kinabalu early, stroll around town and hit the must-sees. Day 2 – Excursion to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, snorkeling at 3 islands. Day 3 – Hike around Mount Kinabalu without summiting (450 per person, no way). Day 4 – Poring Hot Springs + evening flight to Sandakan. Day 5-6-7 – Kinabatangan River (still looking for the right guide). Day 8 – Sepilok for the orangutans, the Sun Bear Centre, and Rainforest Discovery Centre. Day 9 – Selingan, turtle island. Day 10 – Head to Semporna. Day 11-12-13-14 – Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai. Day 15 – Bohey Dulang. Day 16 to Day 25: I’M STUCK.
I looked into Danum Valley, but for 3 days/2 nights, they’re quoting 650 € per person—come on, that’s ridiculous. I checked out a detour into Indonesia (still East Borneo), but I’m having trouble deciding what would be amazing. I read about Sangalaki + Kakaban (2 islands, 1 base) / Mahakam Delta - Kutai (orangutans and river) / Sungai Boh (Dayak Kayan) – jungle & culture. But honestly, I’m struggling to finalize this itinerary. If we venture that way, we’d head back to KK from Balikpapan.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
For a 4-month stay in Egypt, I had ENORMOUS problems. The regulations are very bureaucratic and extremely nitpicky there. For a 4-month stay in the Philippines, I was wondering if the procedures are just as complicated? I’m bringing my cell phone with an eSIM. Should I choose a plan from Canada for use in the Philippines, or should I get a plan only once I arrive? After 30 days, do I renew with the Canadian provider I chose before leaving, or do I switch to a local company? Do I need to register my phone with the authorities in the Philippines? (That was the case in Egypt.) For the 3rd and 4th months, will it be just as simple—renewing with a Canadian or local provider—or should I expect problems?
Thanks for your opinions/answers! Marc Lamarre

Hello,
I’ll be in Malaysia with my wife, mainly in Langkawi and Penang for Christmas and New Year’s at the end of 2026.
If you’ve had the experience—and since I’ve read (though it’s not very clear) that these two islands get quite crowded during this period—would you recommend booking accommodation well in advance, or is it easy to find something on the spot?
Hotels or Airbnb?
Do you have any great tips for accommodation or any practical info to share?
We’ll be staying 5 to 7 days on each island.
Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi there,
We’re heading to Vietnam as a family on July 8th for a little over 3 weeks (north and center). We’ve only booked the first 3 nights in Hanoi, and nothing else after that. We like to decide things on the spot and go with the flow, without rushing everywhere. But I’m still a bit unsure: when heading down to the center (Hue), is it better to book the overnight trains in advance? We don’t want to take any flights while we’re there—just use the overnight train for the long trips. But I’m worried we won’t get seats if we buy the tickets on the spot, say, 2 days before. What do the experts here think? And which website can we use to book the tickets? Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hi everyone!
I’m heading back to Thailand in July 2026 with a stopover in Cambodia to visit the Angkor site.
After Angkor, I’ve booked a stay on Ko Chang island. Does anyone know if there are direct transport options from Cambodia to Ko Chang without having to go back through Bangkok? That would be amazing!!
I think there are, but I’d need more details!!
I went to Thailand in February 2025 and don’t remember having to apply for a visa—is that still the case now? And for Cambodia too?
Thanks so much!!!

Hello,
We’re a couple looking for a driver for 10 days to explore Northern Vietnam in April.
Best regards,
I’d love to get some feedback on our itinerary—it’s probably pretty basic! This is our second trip to Asia and our first to Indonesia. We have three kids aged 20, 18, and 12. We land in Jakarta at 4 PM, spend 3 nights/2 days there, then take the train to Yogyakarta for 3 nights/2 days, followed by the train to Surabaya for 2 nights/1 day, then the train to Bromo for 1 day/1 night, a private driver to Ijen for 2 nights/2 days, then on to Bali (Ubud) for 4 nights/3 days, followed by Gili Air for 3 nights/2 days, Senggigi (Lombok) for 2 nights, and finally 5 nights in Kuta. I’m considering cutting the 2 nights in Senggigi to just keep Kuta and extend it to 7 nights. In Lombok, I’m not sure how to get around since I’m not comfortable with scooters... Your thoughts on all of this, and any advice, are more than welcome—don’t hesitate!
For those wondering why cities like Jakarta and Surabaya: we don’t often get the chance to visit big Asian cities, so we wanted to include that discovery in our trip. The trains between Jakarta and Yogyakarta, Surabaya and Probolinggo are booked. The return flight from Lombok to Jakarta is also set. Accommodations are booked but flexible (same for the trains).
Thanks!

I’ll be on a cruise on January 11, 2027. We’re stopping in Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My).
I’d love to see something other than the city—anyone have recommendations or a guide for 6-8 people with pickup at the port?
I’d really like to visit some rice paddies.

Hi,
After our trip to China, we want to spend a week in the Philippines for some beach time and snorkeling.
We're looking for the best spot to settle in—nice beaches, great marine life, and short transfer times.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a private transfer or taxi company that organizes transfers from the Sukhothai area to Chiang Mai? Our routes are Sukhothai-Lampang, Lampang-Chom Thong, and Chom Thong-Chiang Mai. My searches on Google Maps, 12Go, and others haven’t turned up much...
For our Bangkok-Sukhothai trips, I use a company I’ve already tried, but they don’t have a fleet available from Sukhothai and have to go through third-party companies—which, understandably, take their commission. This nearly doubles the prices...
There are four of us, and we’re not traveling light, so a minibus isn’t an option. ;-)
Thanks for your tips! DrSnuggle

Bonjour,
En voyage en Thaïlande je suis à la recherche de jonc bouddhiste kumlai.
Quelqu’un saurait-il me guider pour en trouver?
À Bangkok j’ai visité quelques temple mais je n’en n’ai pas trouvé sur les magasins à proximité.
Si vous avez une idée je suis preneuse! Belle journée :-)
Hi there
My trip’s coming up, and I’m having a bit of trouble with three bus/minivan routes. Usually, I find everything at this time of year, but this time—yikes!
Sandakan → Sepilok: No app for this one—you just hop on bus #14 at the local terminal (pay cash on board). But where do I catch it, and where’s the stop??
Sandakan → Semporna: From what I’ve heard, it’s the Sida Express company (great name, right? 😄). Can’t book online, but apparently, you *have* to because there’s only one bus at 8 AM. Where do I board, and where does it drop me off?
Semporna → Tawau: Found this via AI—is it legit? No online booking, as far as I can tell. Minivans leave from a stop in the Jalan Hospital area, near the Milimewa supermarket, supposedly???? And when you arrive, does it drop you at **Sabindo Square** in Tawau?????
Thanks for any tips—I’m stuck!

Hi there,
we’ll be in Mai Chau in June and we’re thinking of heading to Sapa, but first spending a few days in Bac Ha to do some hiking and explore the area.
Is this a good idea for those who’ve been there?
How do you get there?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi everyone. As I’m planning my trip for next winter, I’m looking for hotel suggestions in Camotes, Bantayan, Malapascua, Bohol, and Siquijor. The ones I had in mind seem to be fully booked (unless it’s too early?). For those familiar with the area, is it easy to find accommodations on the spot in January/February? I’m specifically looking for hotels with a pool, beachfront, air conditioning, and easy scooter rental nearby. Thanks for your tips!
Hi there,
I’m planning an itinerary and would love some feedback on whether it’s doable and if the number of days per destination is enough—or too much. I was also debating whether to add an extra night on an island or spend an extra night in Kampot to visit Kep or Battambang.
March 23: Arrival in Phnom Penh in the morning March 24: Phnom Penh March 25: Phnom Penh March 26: Depart for Kampot March 27: Kampot March 28: Depart for Battambang March 29: Battambang March 30: Tonlé SAP to Siem Reap March 31: Siem Reap April 1: Siem Reap April 2: Siem Reap April 3: Siem Reap April 4: Siem Reap April 5: Departure
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Hi there,
Yesterday in the Thailand section, 100% of the new threads were just about beach destinations 😕...
So here’s the counterattack in the form of this photo thread, dedicated solely to the countryside: the locals, their livestock, fields, farms, rice paddies, small rivers, and agricultural machinery. If you’ve got any pictures that fit these categories, feel free to add them!
Comments welcome.
For each photo, I’ll (or you can) indicate the area where it was taken.

🙂 Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since I last traveled, but I'm finally heading out again soon!
For those familiar with SOUTHEAST ASIA, I'm planning to leave in mid-June (with the trip ending at the latest in November), and I don’t have a precise idea of exact places or itineraries yet. The thing is, this period is usually the rainy season...
Any advice? I was thinking of Malaysia or Indonesia, like Sulawesi, for example (all countries and islands in Southeast Asia interest me except Bali).
Any recommendations? I’m doing my research online, but if anyone here has the time and knowledge, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks everyone, take care and stay happy! ❤️

Hi there,

Hi everyone,
My girlfriend and I booked our tickets with Saudia Airlines for a trip to Thailand this summer, from July 5th to August 3rd. Given the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, we’re keeping a close eye on the news.
I was wondering if anyone here is in the same situation as us?
• Have you heard anything about possible mass cancellations or if the airline is still maintaining its routes to Asia?
• Are there any travelers who’ve recently returned who could tell us if air corridors have been changed (longer flight times)?
The idea is to know what to expect so we can prepare as best as possible. Thanks for your replies! !
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your contributions on the forum—they’ve really helped me plan my trip. There are four of us friends heading to Sulawesi for 20 days. Based on all your advice, I’ve put together the following itinerary:
July 30: Makassar – sightseeing July 31: Makassar – sightseeing + overnight bus to Rantepao August 1–7: Tana Toraja with a guide August 7: Tana Toraja to Tentena + visit Tentena August 8: Early departure with a private driver to Ampana, then ferry to the Togian Islands August 9–15: Togian Islands (2 different resorts) August 15: Depart Togian Islands for Luwuk August 16: Flight Luwuk to Makassar August 17: Rammang Rammang August 18: Stroll in Makassar, then return home
Overall, what do you think?
I also have a question about the connection between Tentena and the Togian Islands: Is it doable to leave early in the morning as planned and still be sure not to miss the ferry?
Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a 30-day itinerary for May/June 2027.
10 days in eastern Java (Malang, Bromo, waterfalls, Meru Beriti Park, Banyuwangi, and Ijen), a short transit in Ubud for a few days, then Flores before heading back to Jakarta.
We’ll spend 15 days in Flores (the classic route: Moni, Bajawa, Riung, Ruteng, ending in Labuan Bajo).
I’d love some firsthand feedback on flights to Maumere or Ende from Bali Denpasar. I know there are no direct routes and that you have to connect through Labuan Bajo or Timor (I think), which isn’t an issue in itself.
But I’ve read here and there that flights to these destinations can be delayed—or worse, canceled—and that it’s better to fly in and out of Labuan Bajo, which isn’t exactly ideal...
Thanks for any tips or experiences you can share!
